I am supervised by Prof. Nicholas D. Lane, the head of the CaMLSys group at the Computer Laboratory. At present, my machine learning interests are centred around distributed, privacy-preserving, efficient and collaborative machine learning. In particular, I have a great affinity towards paradigms such as federated learning and neural network compression, and the interplay this has with optimisation theory. Generally speaking, the motivating factor for this is that I am circumspect towards the promise of centralised machine learning paradigms, which require enormous amounts of data and computational resources to achieve their state-of-the-art performance. Instead, I believe that there is much benefit to be derived from investigating alternate paradigms that can scale while promoting privacy inherently, supported by sound mathematical foundations.
